Patience is not the ability to wait for something. Patience is our attitude towards waiting.

Continuous Versus Intermittent Reinforcement
Studies on reinforcement revealed that the best way for us to learn complex behaviors is via continuous reinforcement, in which the desired behavior is rewarded every time it’s performed. Consistency and timing are the keys.
Nonetheless, some argue that intermittent reinforcement is the most efficient way to maintain an already learnt behavior. It consists of giving reinforcement only some of the times that the desired behavior occurs.
The Benefits Of Intermittent Reinforcement
- Rewarding the behavior immediately may take time away from the behavior’s continuation.
- It’s cheaper not to reward every instance of a desired behavior.
- By making the rewards unpredictable, you trigger excitement and thus get an increase in response without increasing the amount of reinforcement.
- Since the person is already adapted to not always being rewarded, they take longer to stopping the behavior when reinforcement is removed.
